00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Saudi Pro League powerhouses Alhileel have placed Chelsea winger Pedro

2
00:00:04.559 --> 00:00:08.039
<v Speaker 1>Netto on a targeted three player shortlist as head coach

3
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:11.759
<v Speaker 1>Simone in Zogie searches for dynamic wide editions ahead of

4
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:15.560
<v Speaker 1>the upcoming campaign. The decision comes as the Saudi club

5
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:19.719
<v Speaker 1>actively explores options across Europe to bolster their attacking unit,

6
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:23.839
<v Speaker 1>with direct contact established with the twenty six year old

7
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Portuguese internationals representatives to gauge his interest in relocating to Riyad.

8
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Reports indicate that Neto has given a green light to

9
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:36.880
<v Speaker 1>personal terms, paving the way for club to club negotiations

10
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:40.920
<v Speaker 1>to move forward. Chelsea remain open to conducting business for

11
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:45.000
<v Speaker 1>the player provided their financial conditions are fully met. The

12
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Blues have placed a sixty million euro fifty one million

13
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:52.719
<v Speaker 1>pound asking price on Neto, who made thirty four Premier

14
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:57.479
<v Speaker 1>League appearances during his debut campaign at Stanford Bridge. Manchester

15
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:01.280
<v Speaker 1>City and Arsenal had previously monitored the winger's situation to

16
00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:06.200
<v Speaker 1>explore a potential Premier League transfer, but negotiations stalled due

17
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:11.040
<v Speaker 1>to Chelsea's firm valuation and competing squad moves, with domestic

18
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:15.239
<v Speaker 1>rivals stepping back. Al Hillel have emerged as the primary

19
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:20.040
<v Speaker 1>front runners with the financial capability to satisfy Chelsea's asking price.

20
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:24.879
<v Speaker 1>The potential departure from Stamford Bridge alignes with Chelsea's ongoing

21
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:29.480
<v Speaker 1>tactical restructuring, where the arrival of high profile attacking additions

22
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:34.719
<v Speaker 1>has intensified competition for starting spots in wide areas. Furthermore,

23
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:39.120
<v Speaker 1>new head coach Sabi Alonzo's tactical system relies less on

24
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:43.760
<v Speaker 1>traditional touchline wingers, making Chelsea open to recouping the majority

25
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:48.000
<v Speaker 1>of their initial investment from Wolves, should formal agreements between

26
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Al Hillel and Chelsea progress smoothly to a final resolution.

27
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:56.439
<v Speaker 1>A move to Saudi Arabia would see netto reunite with

28
00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:02.040
<v Speaker 1>fellow Portuguese international and former Wolverhampton Wanderers teammate Ruben Nevis

29
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:05.400
<v Speaker 1>as Al Hileel finalized their summer transfer business
